[AD – Gifted] This post contains gifted item(s).

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, chocolate and strawberries seems to be a firm favourite for a romantic sweet treat. However, for a healthier alternative, why not try your hand at making this satisfying Raspberry Sweetheart Yoghurt instead? Not only is it super creamy, thanks to Holland Jersey milk but it’s also packed full of yummy goodness, which you won’t be able to find in store bought yoghurts!

When it comes to making homemade yoghurt, it may sound daunting, but this Probio7 Life Yoghurt Making Kit contains everything you need to easily make yoghurt from the comfort of your home in three simple steps! For £34.99, it’s a brilliant investment as yoghurt is such a versatile food and can be used for a variety of dishes, plus you can get monthly refills as one off purchases or sign up to the Probio7 subscription service, so you never have to worry about running out of ingredients.

In the kit you receive:

• 1x yogurt making machine
• 8x 125ml ceramic pots
• 2x 250ml ceramic pots
• 1x Greek strainer
• 1x recipe booklet

It’s no surprise that consuming fermented foods on the regular can support good gut health, and Probio7 have gone one step further to create a Happy Gut bacterial sachet which includes three strains of friendly bacteria and delivers six billion clinically researched bacteria to your gut!

Furthermore, Probio7 has ensured this kit is as sustainable as possible with the inclusion of ceramic pots to make and store your yoghurt in leading to less single-use plastic consumption, as well as the specific use of Holland Jersey milk due to it having a lower ecological footprint. What’s not to love?

Now onto the yoghurt maker itself, if you’re worried about it taking up too much space or have a small kitchen, rest assured it’s actually pretty compact and can easily be stored away into one of your cupboards once you’re done with it. When it comes to making yoghurt, there are both written instructions as well as a handy video for those who prefer visual demonstrations, and after 8 hours, you’ll have your own small batch of yoghurt which you can refrigerate to consume as and when you like.

Now, onto the exciting bit! To make your own Raspberry Sweetheart Yoghurt for this Valentine’s Day, all you need is:

• 150g Probio7 Life Yoghurt
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• Handful of goji berries

1. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice, stirring and mashing the raspberries until they are completely broken down.
2. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the mixture is the same consistency as sauce before removing from heat.
3. Let the mixture cool completely and then stir the desired amount into the Probio7 Life Yoghurt.
4. Top with goji berries and enjoy!

Goji berries contain a high level of antioxidants and have a range of properties such as anti ageing effects, glucose regulation as well as immune function support. However, if you prefer something a little more indulgent, you can swap these for some chocolate chips or dark chocolate shavings. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for that extra sweetness – the options are endless!

This kit is definitely one to add to your wishlist! Not only is it super easy to use once you get the hang of it, but it is also conveniently compact, which ensures it won’t take up too much space in your kitchen and can be simply stored away. Moreover, there’s also the option to use soya milk for your yoghurt creation if you prefer a plant based option – you won’t regret having this in your life!
